Asteroid 253 Mathilde:'s Large Craters
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
NASA's NEAR spacecraft zipped through the Solar System, passing asteroid 253 Mathilde. This image of the previously unresolved asteroid was released recently. Mathilde's large craters and irregular shape suggest it has undergone huge collisions with other large space rocks. It has more large craters than asteroids 243 Ida and 951 Gaspra, which were photographed by the Galileo spacecraft.
